I want from a Mazda 3 to my Rogue and I noticed a huge differance. I was getting 400KM on average in my Mazda 3 GT, with 50 litre tank, wiht my Rogue I am getting 650-700 KM per tank on 60 Litre tank.

Will pick up the identical one to yours later this week. Honda just seems to have the "take it at our price, or leave it" attitude and the RAV4 has that ugly wheel hanging off the back. Too bad the North American makers don't produce a vehicle which can compete in this group with similar features. Currently looking forward to cutting down on my gas consumption when I turn in the Buick. I too checked out the CRV and RAV4 before deciding on the Rogue.

I never put Winter tires on my Mazda 3 instead I put a good pair of All Season tires on it. I have two friends who have Mazda 3’s they both put snows on their’s and they still have considerable issues with the car in the winter.

However, you stated that it was difficult to drive in the winter/snow. Did you use winter tires, or the summer-only rated tires? This information would greatly help in my decision. Many thanks!

It is interesting I have received seven emails on this topic from various people saying they have a similar transmission issues. It also ways with Mazda 3 2004 Sedan GT or Sport editions, I have not heard of anyone having any issues with the smaller engines. I still do find it interesting that Mazda designed the drive train on the Mazda 3 in 2005, a year after this model was released. Makes me think that the 2004 Mazda 3’s had serious transmission issues causing the redesign, I mean why else would they go through this expense? Hi Raz

Tha card has been serviced by a dealer all this time and last week (four months after buying) one morning when I put the rear in reverse, it made a noise and was driveable but as it is an automatic, the car would not engage in 4th grear. Took it to mazda dealer and was advised that the transmission is gone and would cost $3300.00 to place. God! a four year old car and the transmission busted....have a 1995 civic and have had no problem. I would never recomend a Mazda. I have had other issues with it too but as it was under warranty at that time, they fixed it. I have a 2004 Mazda 3 Sport which I had leased and this January I excercised the option to buy.
